In a grand mansion in Black Lake City, Chen Xuantong was standing by a bottomless cold pond in a spotless white robe. He casually sprinkled the medicinal aroma in his hand into the water.

Suddenly, the demonic beasts that were being reared in the deep pond fiercely fought and bit at each other. Their blood instantly dyed the entire water red.

Looking at this bloody scene with interest, Chen Xuantong's feminine and handsome face couldn't help but reveal a trace of a smile, grim and cold.

After a while, he clapped his hands and turned around to look at the figure not far away. He raised his eyebrows and asked: "Where is Ye Tianlin going?"

"According to the investigation, his younger brother Ye Peng also participated in this exam." The figure bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Hur hur, it can be considered a small surprise." Chen Xuantong gave a casual smile and said, "Of all the students who participated in the Ye Clan's examination this time, how many of them are still alive?"

"Less than thirty percent."

Chen Xuantong raised an eyebrow. He was not too satisfied with this result. According to his plan, not a single one of the Ye Clan's disciples who participated in this assessment would be able to survive.

After all, even the weakest of the Death Soldiers he sent in had the strength of a Tempered Body 7th Layer. It shouldn't be difficult for him to kill this group of Ye Family disciples.

"It doesn't matter. In any case, it's enough to hurt the Ye Family." Chen Xuantong rubbed his forehead and smiled sinisterly. "The prey …" We have to slowly nibble away at it to be interesting. "

"..."

"..."

"This is …" Where is it? "

At this moment, the muddle-headed Ye Hao felt as if he was at the bottom of an ocean of ice. A bone-chilling coldness surrounded him, as if it wanted to freeze his body and mind.

Fortunately, although the surroundings were bone-chilling cold, in the deepest part of his body, there seemed to be an eternal divine furnace that was continuously emitting heat, resisting the assault of the cold.

It was also because of this that after an unknown amount of time, Ye Hao's mind gradually cleared up. After he subconsciously murmured to himself, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have fallen into that incomparably evil black fog.

Could it be that he's already dead?

Thinking of this, Ye Hao was shocked. He wanted to open his eyes, but his eyelids felt heavy and he was unable to do so.

"Damn it!"

Cursing, Ye Hao forced himself to calm down. After a few breaths, he suddenly noticed that there was a mysterious heat in his body. He didn't know where it came from.

This heat was like light and fire, holy and resplendent. It was extremely powerful, and the cold that constantly attempted to invade his body was like ice and snow meeting fire after encountering this mysterious heat.

As he carefully felt this heat, a strange sense of familiarity suddenly emerged in Ye Hao's heart.

"Is it that drop of mysterious blood essence?" Ye Hao was shocked. After sensing it carefully, he found that the powerful force that helped him resist the cold was exactly the same aura as the drop of mysterious blood essence from that day.

Both of them carried a sacred transcendent intent, giving one the feeling of being able to bow and worship the heavens.

Ye Hao had originally thought that the mysterious drop of blood essence had completely disappeared after helping him strengthen his body. Now, it seemed that the power of this drop of blood essence had been hiding in the deepest part of his body and had not truly fused with it.

After thinking about it carefully, Ye Hao felt relieved. This drop of blood essence was very mysterious and must have an unimaginable origin. He was only at the sixth level of the Body Tempering stage.

However, at this moment, Ye Hao had no time to think about these things. After sensing the power in his body, which could restrain the cold power, he focused his mind and tried to control the heat hidden in the deepest part of his body.

Boom boom!

As his mind continued to connect, the qi and blood in Ye Hao's body began to boil, like a surging tide. After an unknown period of time, a strong wave of boiling Qi and blood suddenly burst out from the deepest part of his body.

When this power emerged, it completely dispelled the chill in his body. Ye Hao gave a low shout and suddenly opened his eyes, which had suddenly opened. Two lightning bolts flashed across his eyes.

At the same time, an incomparably terrifying blood energy erupted from his body. It was like a blood energy armor that covered his entire body.

Whoosh!

Ye Hao let out a long breath. As he breathed, it was as if lightning were appearing between his nostrils and mouth. Sizzling sounds could be heard. This was the embodiment of the extremely strong power of his vital energy and blood.

However, the power that was hibernating deep within his flesh did not belong to him, but was left behind by that drop of mysterious blood essence.

"Just what is the origin of that drop of blood …" Ye Hao looked at the armor of blood essence that covered his entire body. His eyes were filled with intense shock.

Feeling this indescribably large amount of Qi and blood, Ye Hao finally understood how wrong he was.

He originally thought that the drop of refined blood would run out after helping him strengthen his body, but who would've thought that the energy that he had used that day would be like a drop of water in the ocean when compared to the energy that was hibernating deep within his flesh.

In Ye Hao's eyes, the mysterious blood essence's power was unimaginably enormous. However, he didn't know how to control this power. Right now, the vast blood essence surrounding his body was only passively defending under his mental command.

Thinking about this, Ye Hao's mind tightened. He was so shocked that he almost forgot his current situation.

Instantly, Ye Hao's gaze swept across the surroundings. When he clearly saw his surroundings, his face suddenly changed.

"Where is this?" I... Why am I here? "

After a long time, Ye Hao mumbled with his scalp numb. He clearly remembered that before he lost his consciousness, he was in the depths of the Ye family's examination forest. But now, in front of him, was a flat land that was filled with black fog.

The black mist was the Black Eerie Swamp.

The moment he saw the black fog, Ye Hao's heart tightened. But then, he realized that the surrounding black fog seemed to be blocked by his protective armor, preventing it from touching his body.

When he realized this, Ye Hao let out a sigh of relief, but soon after, he nervously looked around his surroundings.

The flat ground was dead silent. Thick black fog floated in the air and Ye Hao's vision was obstructed. He couldn't see too far, but judging from the hazy terrain of the mountain in the distance, he guessed that this was the Black Abyss Mountain Range, its true depths.

How did he get here? How come I don't have any impression of him at all?

Just when Ye Hao was puzzled, a rustling sound suddenly came from the silent flat ground.

Ye Hao frowned and looked back towards the source of the voice. He vaguely saw a somewhat crooked figure not far behind. It dragged its feet in the dark fog as it slowly walked towards him.

"There's actually someone else?" Ye Hao's mind trembled. He held his breath and took a few steps back. His eyes narrowed as he stared at the approaching figure.

However, as the figure approached and Ye Hao saw everything clearly, his black pupils suddenly contracted. A creepy and terrifying feeling instantly enveloped him, causing all the hair on his body to stand up.

There was no expression on his face, and his eyes were staring blankly at the empty space in front of him. It was as if he did not see Ye Hao, who was walking straight towards the unknown, under the strange churning black fog.

This figure was the same one who had chased after Ye Hao earlier, the young man at Tempered Body 8th Layer.

This strange scene made Ye Hao's scalp tingle. A bone-piercing chill spread to his feet. He couldn't tell if this young man was alive or dead, or … Was it a human or a ghost?

All of this was simply too strange and terrifying.

Ye Hao's scalp was numb as he looked at the black mist floating in front of him. The young man's figure had already been slowly engulfed and disappeared.

Could it be that the depths of the Black Abyss Mountain Range really led to the legendary Underworld?

Could this Black Abyss Ghost Fog be capable of summoning people into the Graveyard of the Underworld?

Just when Ye Hao was overwhelmed with shock and all kinds of rumors about the Black Abyss Mountain Range surfaced in his mind, another rustling sound came from behind him.
